Definitions
- This invention relates to a sheet metal pulley and a means for securing the pulley to an end of a rotary shaft.
- the invention concerns a device in which the peripheral, surface of a pulley, a web, and a hub portion for affixing the pulley to the end of the rotary shaft of the pulley according to the invention are all integrally formed of a single sheet of metal.
- a hub (or boss) portion is formed into a cylindrical shape by deep drawing for the purpose of receiving the shaft end.
- the shaft is placed in the deep-drawn cup-shaped hub, whereby the pulley is aligned perpendicular to the axis of the shaft.
- the function of the drawn hub is to provide a contact area extending over the shaft end and along the axis of the shaft adjacent the end, thereby to prevent flexing of the pulley with respect to its correct perpendicular alignment.
- the plate thickness of the cylindrical portion necessarily becomes even thinner.
- the bottom portion is often broken because it has been stretched too thin to bear the load to which it is subjected by the locking bolt.
- the strength of the walls of the cylindrical portion is also deteriorated by such drawing to the point that the walls cannot hold the peripheral surface of the shaft adjacent the end such as needed to steadily support the pulley on the shaft.
- the conventional apparatus for endwise affixing a shaft and a one piece pulley, characterized by these defects, is not sufficiently strong and is not satisfactory.
- the hub portion of a sheet metal pulley is provided with a claw piece which is cut away and raised by one end in the axial direction such as to fit around the outer peripheral surface of the shaft end at a point axially spaced from the web of the pulley.
- a claw piece which is cut away and raised by one end in the axial direction such as to fit around the outer peripheral surface of the shaft end at a point axially spaced from the web of the pulley.
- the hub portion is composed of two stacked plates in order to increase the length of axial support for the pulley and to improve the strength of the shaft end installation. This is unnecessarily expensive in both material and assembly requirements.
- the present invention as defined in claim 1 provides a pulley optionally adapted for installing a rotary shaft to the pulley in which the peripheral surface of the pulley, a web, and a hub portion to be affixed to the end of the rotary shaft of the pulley are integrally formed in a single sheet of metal to include a plurality of protrusions each of which consists of an upwardly or axially displaced portion defined between spaced slits in the hub portion, the protrusions to bear radially against the shaft at points axially spaced from the end.
- a bolt hole is preferably provided along the axis of the hub portion forthe purpose of receiving a bolt secured to the shaft end.
- a rotation prevention means is eccentrically provided on the hub portion, adapted to prevent the relative rotation of the shaft end and the pulley.
- the pulley is attached to the shaft along an axial span, whereby the attachment is secure against pulley misalignment under load.
- This structure precludes the need that the hub portion, apart from the protrusions, be made thinner. Therefore, the strength for holding the shaft end need not be thereby reduced.
- the structure also precludes the need to add thicknesses to the hub of the one-piece pulley. The protrusions accurately locate the shaft end at a central aligned position and hold it steadily.
- Figs. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a pulley of sheet metal according to the invention.
- a peripheral portion 12 for example with a plurality of splines or teeth 11 formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a hub portion 13 for affixing the pulley to the end of a rotary shaft S, are connected through a web 14 and integrally formed together of a single thickness of sheet metal.
- the hub portion 13 has a surface which is disposed axially against the shaft end portion, and a plurality of frusto-conical sheet metal protrusions 15.
- the protrusions each bear radially against the shaft, and together they enclose and fit over the outer peripheral surface of the shaft adjacent its end. Including the surface of the hub, a structure is thereby defined to rigidly grasp all around the shaft end.
- the protrusions define an annular projection on the hub portion 13.
- Each protrusion 15 extends in a circumferential direction around the shaft end portion and is wider adjacent its base. The protrusions are struck up from the hub such that each end of each protrusion 15 is contiguous with the hub portion 13, as is shown in Fig. 3.
- each protrusion 15, against which the outer periphery of the shaft end portion rests is preferably formed to be arcuate in precise conformity with the configuration of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft end portion, whereby the shaft end portion can be tightly inserted into the space between protrusions 15 to achieve accurate positioning of the pulley in the radial direction.
- Each protrusion 15 is formed by a process of first notching out two slits 16, 16' with a punch and a die which are finished to a predetermined dimension, and next deforming the portion between the slits in the axial direction from the hub to form a protrusion or bearing piece axially displaced from the hub but also attached thereto. In this way, the hole indicated by reference numeral 17 is punched.
- a bolt hole 19 is formed, for receiving bolt 18 for rigidly affixing the pulley 10 to the shaft end.
- a rotation-stop knock pin hole 19' is also preferably formed at a position eccentric from hole 19. The knock pin hole can receive a projection of the shaft or a pin or screw can be inserted to check relative rotation of the pulley 10 and the shaft end portion under loads that might otherwise tend to loosen bolt 18.
- a rigid or concavo-convex portion may be formed to be engaged with complementary shapes on either the shaft end surface or the peripheral surface of the shaft end portion, connecting them at an eccentric location to the hub portion.
- Figs. 4 to 10 show a second embodiment of the invention. While the center line of the two slits 16, 16' is disposed in the circumferential direction in the first embodiment, two slits 26, 26' are arranged in Figs. 4 to 10 such that the center line thereof is oriented in the radial direction. In both embodiments, the protrusions define contact edges adapted to bear radially against the outer periphery of the shaft adjacent the end of the shaft.
- each protrusion 25 is formed to have a complementary stepped portion for engaging with the shaft end portion.
- the stepped portion is oriented at an angle of about 90 degrees to the hub surface in section as viewed along the center line of the slits 26, 26'.
- the edge of the stepped out portion that contacts the shaft may be either an edge formerly disposed at a slit as in Figs. 1 to 3, or an edge formed in the surface part of the protrusion when the same is struck up, as in Figs. 4 to 10.
- Figs. 6 to 7 show the process of machining steps for forming a stepped protrusion 25 as shown in Figs. 4 to 10.
- a protrusions defining a truncated conical form similar to that of the first embodiment is formed, as is shown in Fig. 6.
- the portion against which the shaft end portion will bear is formed into a configuration having a 90- degree bend, as is shown in Fig. 7. It is naturally possible to combine these two stages into one step by striking the slit hub with a tool of complementary shape to the desired configuration with the 90-degree bend.
- the height of the protrusion is preferably about 1.5 times the plate thickness, and the width and the length of the slits can be determined appropriately.
- Fig. 8 shows an example of the section of the pulley 20 in the second embodiment, wherein the reference numeral 27 denotes a hole left underneath a struck-up protrusion 25, and 28 denotes the central bolt hole.
- slits 36, 36' in Fig. 9 It is not absolutely necessary to provide two slits in parallel, as is shown in Fig. 4. It is also possible to provide slits which diverge toward the outer periphery, as is shown by slits 36, 36' in Fig. 9, or slits 46, 46' which converge toward the outer periphery, as is shown in Fig. 10.
- the plate thickness of the hub portion apart from the protrusions is not reduced as a result of the formation of the protrusions.
- the end portion of each protrusions is not a movable free end, each protrusions instead being a bow having its end continuous with the hub portion, the protrusions locate the shaft end portion at the exact center position and hold it rigidly aligned, without any reduction in the strength of attachment of the pulley and the shaft end portion as a result of their use.
- the punching process for making the protrusions on the hub portion is very easy and inexpensive, and can be combined with other steps in the manufacture of the pulley.
- the slits defining the projections are oriented in the radial direction, the direction of the slits and the contiguous material between the slits is orthogonal to the rotary direction of the pulley (i.e., the direction in which torque is transmitted). Torque forces are therefore born substantially along the material of the protrusions rather than across the bends therein. Accordingly, this embodiment is especially effective in preventing the pulley mounting structure from being broken due to weakening of the hub by the slits and due to stress on the protrusions.
- each protrusion serves as an elastic member in relation to applied force.
- the protrusions have an effective damping capability in relation to high loads and load fluctuation.
